people with disabilities

In an age of budget battles and cuts to social services, this Specialized Reporting Institute takes a look at the impact of those cuts on some of society's most vulnerable citizens: people with disabilities. Access Living and ADA 25 joined The Poynter Institute to present a two-day workshop to give journalists the knowledge and skills to create engaging and powerful journalism on this topic. The focus was on potential budget cuts in Illinois and their impact on key social services for people with disabilities, but the issues resonate in communities across the United States.
